Recent tour reviews

The show was good but very short. Not a lot of songs from her new album. Was disappointing to say the least - especially for a hometown show. We would have loved to hear more complete versions from her new album.

Report as inappropriate

Hi I really enjoyed the show, despite being somewhat short. I bought a red rose for her and when she was singing in front of our section, I noticed she smiled. I resent not taking a picture. I have been a fan of hers since 2002.

This was my first time seeing Avril Lavigne. She did a lot of old songs and messed up the ending of Happy Endings. She did a few new songs. Overall I had fun.

Avril Lavigne Promises to Sing 'Greatest Hits from All My Albums' on Summer 2024 Tour — See the Dates!

Lavigne will be joined for the summer 2024 trek by opening acts All Time Low, Simple Plan, Girlfriends and Royal & the Serpent

Monica Murray/Variety via Getty

Hey hey, you you — Avril Lavigne is hitting the road this summer!

On Monday, the pop-punk princess announced dates for her first-ever greatest hits tour, set for 27 dates across North America with opening acts All Time Low , Simple Plan, Girlfriends and Royal & the Serpent appearing throughout the run.

"Tour dates for 2024 baby! I’ll be doing the Greatest Hits from all of my albums and along with some of your favorites, perhaps some special requests?" wrote the Canadian superstar, 39, alongside the announcement on social media . "And of course all of my friends are joining me!!!"

Live Nation

Simple Plan also posted to social media to express excitement for the tour, with the fellow Canadian act (which debuted in 2002, the same year as Lavigne) reflecting on its early days as a band.

"We’re so stoked to join @AvrilLavigne on her Greatest Hits tour across the US and Canada this summer," wrote the "Perfect" band. "This really is a full circle moment for us: more than 20 years ago, we did our first US arena tour with Avril and it was absolutely amazing. To have the chance to go on the road with her again is gonna be so rad and we can’t wait for the shows this summer!"
